I 'fess I'm one of those who chose this, Bill. Spring is just as restless as autumn, and the implied comparison with human behaviour is excellent.

I found you through a connections of thoughts, through a open door of friendship, through a moment of free thought and new friend, Suzanne and a new teacher, Floots!
Your art is wonderful, I will return often.

John Masefield, Sea-Fever

You got it, tikkis, and the Masefield association was in my mind. Might be a grown man or woman, rather than a boy or girl, though.
